that_o be_v unexpressible_a and_o unconceivable_a and_o let_v we_o comfort_v ourselves_o in_o all_o the_o slight_n of_o the_o world_n use_n a_o man_n that_o have_v great_a hope_n in_o his_o own_o

wonder_v not_o because_o they_o see_v a_o reason_n they_o can_v compass_v thing_n but_o a_o christian_a can_v but_o wonder_v because_o the_o thing_n prepare_v be_v above_o his_o reach_n yea_o when_o

and_o love_n be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o every_o one_o may_v try_v himself_o by_o love_n if_o he_o have_v name_v either_o give_v or_o do_v of_o this_o or_o that_o man_n may_v have_v say_v i_o can_v

of_o those_o that_o heaven_n be_v provide_v for_o they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o love_n god_n such_o as_o be_v alter_v and_o change_v and_o sanctify_v to_o love_v he_o because_o no_o unclean_a thing_n

without_o likeness_n to_o they_o which_o must_v be_v by_o a_o spirit_n of_o love_n our_o nature_n must_v be_v alter_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a presumption_n for_o any_o man_n to_o think_v of_o

not_o lively_a he_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o life_n at_o all_o therefore_o those_o that_o will_v look_v for_o heaven_n that_o satan_n abuse_v they_o not_o by_o false_a confidence_n let_v they_o look_v whether_o god_n have_v alter_v their_o heart_n that_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n be_v wrought_v in_o some_o measure_n for_o god_n have_v not_o ordain_v these_o great_a thing_n for_o his_o enemy_n for_o

do_v you_o think_v he_o have_v provide_v these_o great_a matter_n for_o they_o he_o have_v another_o place_n for_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v abuse_v by_o our_o own_o false_a heart_n to_o think_v of_o such_o a_o happy_a condition_n unless_o we_o find_v ourselves_o change_v unless_o we_o be_v new_o bear_v we_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o heaven_n lord_n lord_n say_v they_o

for_o they_o to_o think_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v prepare_v for_o those_o who_o god_n foresee_v will_v do_v such_o and_o such_o good_a work_n it_o be_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v think_v he_o have_v provide_v these_o happy_a thing_n for_o those_o that_o be_v his_o enemy_n for_o how_o can_v he_o look_v for_o love_n from_o we_o in_o a_o state_n of_o corruption_n when_o the_o best_a thing_n in_o we_o be_v enmity_n to_o he_o be_v it_o not_o a_o vain_a thing_n to_o look_v for_o light_n from_o darkness_n to_o look_v for_o love_n from_o enmity_n and_o hatred_n therefore_o how_o can_v god_n foresee_v any_o thing_n in_o we_o when_o he_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o enmity_n and_o darkness_n in_o our_o disposition_n by_o nature_n and_o then_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v afterward_o this_o

to_o do_v but_o they_o abuse_v such_o place_n upon_o so_o shallow_a ground_n that_o indeed_o it_o deserve_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v mention_v to_o come_v then_o to_o the_o point_n itself_o the_o disposition_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n then_o be_v they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o love_v god_n now_o he_o name_v this_o because_o these_o two_o go_v always_o together_o there_o go_v somewhat_o of_o we_o together_o with_o somewhat_o of_o god_n to_o witness_v to_o we_o what_o god_n do_v there_o go_v our_o choice_n of_o god_n with_o his_o choose_n of_o we_o our_o know_v of_o god_n with_o his_o knowledge_n of_o we_o our_o love_n to_o he_o with_o his_o love_n to_o we_o therefore_o because_o these_o be_v so_o connex_v and_o knit_v together_o he_o take_v the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o and_o to_o make_v it_o familiar_a to_o we_o he_o take_v that_o which_o be_v most_o familiar_a to_o we_o our_o love_n to_o he_o now_o he_o name_v this_o above_o all_o other_o

and_o delight_n and_o desire_n they_o all_o spring_n from_o love_n &_o because_o all_o duty_n spring_v from_o love_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o both_o table_n be_v include_v in_o love_n and_o when_o the_o apostle_n will_v set_v down_o the_o qualification_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v enjoy_v these_o thing_n he_o say_v they_o be_v for_o those_o that_o love_v he_o because_o it_o stir_v

of_o god_n and_o we_o see_v all_o clear_a and_o open_a and_o yet_o be_v cold_a likewise_o it_o be_v good_a in_o this_o case_n to_o converse_v with_o those_o that_o be_v affectionate_a as_o face_n

may_v say_v much_o this_o way_n to_o stir_v we_o up_o and_o direct_v we_o how_o to_o love_v god_n but_o indeed_o nothing_o will_v so_o much_o enable_v we_o to_o love_n god_n as_o a_o new_a nature_n nature_n will_v love_v without_o provocation_n the_o fire_n will_v burn_v because_o it_o be_v fire_n and_o the_o water_n will_v moisten_v because_o it_o be_v water_n and_o a_o holy_a man_n will_v

a_o circumcise_a heart_n to_o love_n god_n we_o must_v be_v sanctify_v to_o love_n god_n for_o if_o nature_n be_v not_o renew_v there_o can_v be_v this_o new_a commandment_n of_o love_n why_o be_v
